FROM USA TODAY:  A CLASSIC STORY: Motorcyclist in helmet protest ride hits head, dies
   ONONDAGA, N.Y. (AP) — A man riding bareheaded on one of about 550 motorcycles in an anti-helmet law rally lost control of his cycle, went over his handlebars, hit his head on the pavement and died, police said Sunday.

  The motorcyclist, 55-year-old Philip A. Contos, likely would have survived the accident if he'd been wearing a helmet, state troopers said.

  The accident happened Saturday afternoon in Onondaga, a town in central New York near Syracuse.
